Manager Bailey Evans has named the squad below for the forthcoming season. He is quoted with his thoughts on the final trial;

The U15 coaches were absolutely bowled over by the incredible levels on show at the final trials last night. If our facilities, budget and competition rules allowed, we could very easily have chosen two squads.

Whilst these decisions have been insanely difficult, final decisions have been made. Regardless of results we would hope/expect to see EVERY player from last night at the trials next year - not being selected this year is certainly nothing to be disheartened by!

 

That said, congratulations to the following 20 players:

Eden	Bailey	Trentham
Josef	Holmes	Friary
Greg	Lewis	Friary
James	May	Cardinal Griffin
Morgan	Payne	Walton
James	Sutton	Weston Road

The U15s are largely run using the TeamSnap app, so any new players need to get in touch via email so they can be added to the app ASAP, as games start within the next fortnight.

After the trial process manager Dan Hallam has named the following squad forthe forthcoming season. The squad is made up of twenty players of whom 16 will be selected for the matchday squad and 4 will be on standby in case of injury or unavailaability.

All parents need to confirm their e mail address and a mobile contact to staffordshiresfasec@gmail.com and confirm their acceptance of the invitation to join the squad.

 

Please look at the website as this will keep all upto date as to what is happening regarding fixtures etc.

The next three Mondays will determine the make up of the six county squads for the coming season when the final trials take place. All are at Stafford Town FC and the season proper kicks off on the 8th of October when the Under 15 Boys entertain Warwickshire in an MCF fixture. All fixtures can be viewed by looking at the Calendar on the website.

It is good to see some of our ex girl players making progress in the game. Hannah Hampton and Shania Hales are both in the WSL Birmingham City squad, Phoebe Warner, Ria Elsmore and Hollie Gibson are playing for Aston Villa whilst Charlotte Clarke is between the sticks for Leicester City. Stoke City have Beth Roberts and Kelsey Richardson as regular starters whilst a number of ex county players are in their development squad.

Joe Sbarra and Ben Fox are both in Burton Albion's first team squad and neither missed a game playing for the County.

The Individul Schools Cup competitions will be getting underway this week as tight schedules need to be met to ensure that the finalists are ready and willing to play in April. There has been a record entry this year with several schools playing for the first time and they are most welcome. It is still disapointing at the lack of teams from the Stoke on Trent area but hopefully they will eventually join in.

Plans are already underway for the Danone primarycompetition and the County finals will be at St Georges Park with the winners progresing to represent Staffordshire in the regional finals.The draws for the County cup should be in schools in the next week or so.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Association changes have been forced upon us as to the timings of the trials.

All trials revised timings are ;

Monday 10th Sept U14 G 6-00pm Register at 5-30 U16 G 7-40 register at 7-15

Monday 17th Sept U16 B 6-00pm Register at 5-30 U15 Boys 7-40 Register at 7-15
